Summary

This study tested a 12-week home-visiting program called Promoting First Relationships® for birth parents who have been reunified with their young children (ages 1-5) after foster care. The program focuses on improving parenting skills and the parent-child bond. Researchers followed 264 families to see if the program reduces the risk of children being removed again and improves child well-being.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this program could help reunified families stay together and reduce the chance of children being placed back into foster care.
What could go wrong
This is a completed study with 264 participants, but results may not apply to all families or regions. The program requires time and commitment from parents, which may limit its real-world impact.
